The car was truly groundbreaking, with a race-inspired design. It had three seats, with the driver\u2019s seat in the middle, and it was a <em>comfortable <\/em>ride. The F1 was the first production road car to use a complete carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) monocoque chassis structure. For attachment points for the suspension system, McLaren used aluminum and magnesium, inserted directly into the CFRP. All that guaranteed a very light chassis.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/street\/mclaren_f1_1993_02.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Not many cars manage to look good in yellow.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The engine of the F1 was the S70\/2, from BMW. A V12 at 60\u00ba with 6064 cm\u00b3, it counted with DOHC, 48 valves and variable valve timing to produce 618 hp. Since the carbon fiber body and monocoque were sensible to heat, the heat generated by the engine was a problem. To solve that, 16 g of gold was used as a gold foil that revested the whole <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/78.media.tumblr.com\/e8613a29fec2cc629f6927dd93074d5d\/tumblr_nnf71nei9g1rb2fzoo2_1280.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">engine compartment<\/a>. In other words, the F1 had a gold-wrapped engine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The car managed a 0 to 100 km\/h in 3.2 seconds, with a top speed of 386 km\/h. Along with the engine and chassis, aerodynamics was also a key aspect to the car. Just to put things into perspective, the F1 has a drag coefficient of 0.32, while the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.w-143.com\/index.php\/bugatti-eb-16-4-veyron-2003-autoart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Bugatti Veyron<\/a> has 0.36. And until the Veyron, from 1992 to 1995, it was also the world\u2019s fastest production car. Therefore, fast <em>and <\/em>comfortable.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/street\/mclaren_f1_1993_03.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Nice ass.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The McLaren F1 was never a huge favorite of mine in terms of super cars. However, it\u2019s a VERY impressive vehicle in terms of engineering. AND it won Le Mans. So in other words, it&#8217;s a model I couldn\u2019t ignore for the W-143 garage. This one is from Minichamps, and while it may not be a high-end model, it sure is a nice one. In scale it\u2019s pretty neat, maybe not fantastic but another \u201chonest Minichamps\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1993 McLaren F1Minichamps &#8211; 530133436 (diecast) Published 02\/16\/19 The McLaren F1 was the manufacturer\u2019s first production road car.
